| | |  Muggle Studies Lesson 1 - Currency Conversion and Muggle Fashions
Antonio walked into the classroom, getting things ready for the students ahead of time. There were two differrent subjects he wanted to cover in today's lesson, so he knew that time was of the essence. The first part of the lesson was going to focus on currency conversion, so he began to get his materials out for the students as they entered the room.
The first item was a converter chart which would convert wizarding money into United States dollars - Harry Potter currency converter
The second item was another converter chart, this one converted the British pound, the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, the Euro dollar, the Australian dollar and the Japanese yen back and forth into one of the other type of currency. Currency Converter - Yahoo! Finance
There were other types of currency in the world, of course, but Antonio had found these sources easy to work with and thought the students would be able to use the materials easily in class.
He waited for the students to show up, calling out instructions to each person as they entered.
"Good morning, everyone. We are going to be working with a couple different things today, but the first part deals with currency. Please take one of each of the two handouts as you enter, then take a seat and we'll be getting ready soon. Feel free to take a chocolate chip cookie, as well, and perhaps some pumpkin juice." He gestured to the serving area to the side of his desk. | |

Set was very excited as he shuffled through the book the proffesor had given him. He was raised as a muggle and knew all about muggle fashion, having have tried to keep up with it for the past six years. he had really liked the money conversation because his father was a banker! Overall, this was one of his favorite classes!

Tobi had opened the men's fashion book, but not really paid any attention to the pages. He worried seriously for the pretentious second year who felt the need to make trouble for him to rat on. Windmill tilting of housepoints. What was he bucking for Head Boy?
Tobi didn't much care, his temper wasn't the murderous one at that table. It was Aggie, that scared him. He wondered if because of her, and the sudden absence of their Professor, the ickle secondie would soon be sporting a pair of antlers or jelly-legs. Or both. He mentally readied himself to tackle her, just incase. They didn't need the loss of points and Aggie didn't need detention.
Though the kid would look extrodinary with antlers, he must admit.

Natka opened her handbook, but couldn't help but sneak glances at her fellow classmates, some of whom looked very surprised at the Muggle fasion sense.
Well, I guess not everyone grows up in these surroundings, she thought to herself.
She personally found nothing particularly new, having lived in the Muggle work most of her life. And besides, she had had never shown a great interest in fashion, but perhaps that would change...

She saw some guy she had never met sitting next to her, so she smiled at him.

Cadence turned in her seat to face Set. I'm doing pretty good. I like this class too! Set, don't you think some of these women are just beautiful? This one looks a lot like my mum... Cadence said pointing at a laughing womeone with long brown hair and glittering brown eyes. My mum was really beautiful.

Nathaniel gathered his things and moved away from his housemates who most likely wanted to hurt him. Why? He didn't know. He was trying to keep them from losing house points. He spotted his friend Christine and moved near her. He opened the book again and started to look at the clothes. Nice. He'd have write father a letter asking for some if it.

Cadence and her friends and all the other Hufflepuffs had worked so hard to earn all those points, and he was about to lose a bunch of them.
Cadence started reading over the hand out, envious of the women in the pictures. I wish I was as pretty as these women. Cadence said in a whisper to Melanie and Ana. "They are pretty." Melanie commented half-heartedy. She wasn't that into fashion. She looked through the book about women's fashion.
Why the heck are'nt any blue jeans or t-shirts in here? She shook her head, laughing. If she had worn some of these things to her old school then she would have definitely been laughed at. | |

Antonio returned to the classroom. "Well, it looks like everyone has managed to behave in a civil manner while I was gone," he muttered. "There is a lot of material in these handbooks, and what I would like you all to do is just to figure out what styles you like in clothing, shoes, handbags, whatever, as well as what colors you like best. This is going to be an interesting experience. If you were in the muggle world, how would you like to dress on a typical school day?"

Melanie, I don't think Jack would want the whole world knowing about that just yet. she said in an urgent whisper. And please, let's just leave him alone or we're going to get points taken off for being mean to him, okay? She said smiling at her friend.

Though the kid would look extrodinary with antlers, he must admit. "Tobi," Aggie asked again poking him in the arm. "Which one are you rummaging through?" she asked him as she leaned across him.“Did you notice how the men’s costumes” Yes to her they were costumes, “Look so much more comfortable and low-key then the woman’s?”
Tobi still wasn't answering her. She noticed him looking across to the room at the Fink-Boy. "Leave off it Tobi," she said tapping the page of his handout. "We can deal with him later. Feed him to the giant squid down by the lake, although I'm not sure he enjoys the taste of Fink."

No" Jack replied quickly "How could I do that?" he asked, he really needed to keep this under wraps, he cast a look at Dumont that pleaded for help.

At my school, we wore uniforms. But if I had a choice, I'd wear something like this... Cadence said pointing to a picture of a teenage girl in tight, flare-cut, dark wash blue jeans, really cute brown boots, and a teal button up shirt with a cute white tank top underneath. Or maybe this! Cadence said, pointing to a girl in the same style of jeans, a purple polo, and tennis shoes.

"So, ya mean you don't where uniform at Muggle school?" How cool would it be to not wear uniform! Aything he wanted, he could wear a clown suit if he wished, or maybe that was going over the top ... | |

Melanie looked over at the boy Cadence was talking to and raised her eyebrows. "Is this Set?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. She tilted her head curiously.
She listened to the proffesser and raised her hand. "I would where jeans, a t-shirt and a sweatshirt!" she announced. "Most this stuff is kinda dressy." she said, wrinkling her nose a bit in distaste. Melanie hated dressing up. | |

This was an easy question for Christine, seeing as how she grew up in the muggle world and went to a muggle school. I like to be comfortable. So i would probably wear a pair of dark denim blue jeans, a tee shirt, probably either blue, grey, black, or brown, and a pair of sneakers. | |

This is going to be an interesting experience. If you were in the muggle world, how would you like to dress on a typical school day?" Maddox raised his hand and replied, "Personally I would wear baggy jeans, with a belt of course, sneakers, the muggle brand Nike is my favorite, and a baggy t-shirt with some kind of cool graphic on it. I'm mostly casual. So if I was in the muggle world, that is how I would dress." He shrugged, that was already his style.

Dominic just sat there pretending to look through the men's fashion magazine that Dumont had handed out. Truthfully though he was gritting his teeth against the Hufflepuffs that were chattering during the lesson. GAH! If they lost points, then they were going to be losing a lot more than just points once him and Winters got a hold of them.
But then before he could speak to them, Dumont returned and asked of the muggle fashion. Who cared!? They weren't in a muggle world. If they were, then he wouldn't be able to glue tongues to the roof of unruly Puff's mouths.
Nonetheless, the fifth year raised his hand before speaking of how he'd like to dress, "Well Professor, perhaps a shining blazer and pair of khakis, cleanly pressed, as it is important to always look your best."

He thought about it for a second. "I live in the muggle world.I like to be comfortable in what I'm wearing. So I'd probably wear a nice pair of jeans and a cotton t-shirt with some band on it or something. And sneakers.Preferably skateboarding shoes. he said with a smile. Simple but nice. Quote:

He didn't want to talk and lose points. He did however lean over and look at her girls clothing book. Interesting. He handed her his mens fashion book with a smile

Jake raised his hand. "Sir, they wear uniforms, I'm certain. I went to a muggle school until I was nine."
And Jake was pretty sure it was the same through secondary school. "But I suppose... smart? Not scrappy stuff like jeans and hoodies. I suppose... yeah, smart."

Elizabeth raised her hand again as the professor returned and posed a question. "Well, when I'm not here, I live in the Muggle world. And I usually wear jeans and a tshirt. Or a sweater, it depends on what I feel like that day and what the weather's like."
